SIiarpIess n Watts,

While fer years past Americans have been
repeating the fulI-. of their English rela
tions III manners and dress, there are MANY
respects i'll which the English can be copied
with beneht. Two Things particularly we
recall, open fire places III our dwellings, and
tile pavement on our floors. We do not
mean those high art effects which are only
within the reach Of the rich, but comforta-
bly, tiled hreplaces and hearths, which are
within the reach OF people of ordinary
means. EncausUiC tile for halls, p;,ssa-
ges, &c, have been generally in use in Eng
land Tor generations past. The improved
processes of manufacture have in recent
years 50 reduced their cost, that now they
really make the cheapest floor covering
when durability is considered At ths head
of this business is the firm of Sharpless &
Watts No. lJ22, Chestnut street Puiladel-
phia, whose new card appears in to-day :
WING. We know no better entertainment
when visiting that city than AN inspection
of the attractive home decorations to be

that we refer to Samuel NJ. Johnson
Very strange was the adventure of veteran
from Leeds short time ago. 1t appears that the
veteran lourneyed unto the far famed land of
Gettysburg and after season OF refreshing with
his comrades began to yearn for the land o'the
corner. He turned his face homeward and being
hlled with good cheer soon arrived at the metrop-
oils OF Pennsylvania. He then boarded train Oh
the F., W. a b, (his destination being Elkton)
being weary he soon fell asleep and when awak-
ened he found himself at North East. AS he is
somewhat OF a pedestrian he calculated that TO
foot it home was his cnly salvation. He started,
but, alas. he struck the wrong trail. About the
third watch OF the night he reached Sandy Hill
having lost his bearings and not wishing to he
known he called at the house ot one Boyd and
'hollered' for information regarding his where
abouts. Boyd thinking him tramp told him to
git. The veterans heart sank within him as
he was lost. He discerned wheat field over the
fence and clambering over rolled under shock

rived home next day right side up with care
